  • I think the issue was more about forcing intense discourse on people who aren’t interested in having that conversation at that moment.

    You werent banned for calling out transphobia, you were banned because you were being pedantic and argumentative. Plus you were on a new account so everything all together made it look like you were trolling.

    I think if you had stopped after one or two comments it would be fine. My rule is generally to point out something if I feel it needs to be said, then maybe give one more clarifying response, then let it go.

    Another choice would be to make a separate post somewhere discussing the neuances of ‘disliking politics’ – then people who comment on it clearly want to have that discussion and are opting in.

    It seems like the situation triggered you, and sometimes the most productive choice is to step back from the conversation and move on.

    Sorry you got banned, i hope you find a new comfy home on lemmy!





  • Actually yes, depression acceptace (and mental health acceptance in general) is part of the process to helping people be happy and healthy. As someone with depression (who is also fat) accepting myself and finding communities where i am accepted as i am and encouraged to be my own personal form of healthy is good for me.

    Shaming someone for being depressed isnt going to suddenly make their depression go away. Shaming someone for being fat isnt going to suddenly make them thin. Judinging someone as a person for medical conditions that are often a complex result of genetics, environment, and culture is not helpful.

    Accepting, loving, and supporting people is what helps.
